AVEnyrIAY;TETTITiT?Y h;i)10:' I Able to go Down I Town first Time i. ill Many Months Mrs. Cox's Improvement Since Taking Tanlac Has Proved a Grand SurprisaJf It surely Is a Tanlac neighborhood out where I live, for most everybody i Know is taking it with fine re-1, suits," recently Bald Mrs. Flora Cox. or 1136 Vernon avenue, N. E., l'ort-; land, In telling of her Interesting ex-! peiiente with the famous medicine. "I was in such a bad stale of hoalth, continued Mrs. Cox, "that for the last three years I was hardly able to go anywhere at all. Soon af ter eating anything 1 would have a stuffy feeling like my stomach was filled with gas, and olten during the night my heart would beat so hurd and fast I would simuly have to easD for breath, and Bomelimes when go-1 ing about the house, I would get !Rldg ay, Mo., so dizzy and feel so faint and weakiFoley this week. that I wouldn't dare stoop over be cause I was afraid of fulling. My nerves were so upset that I just couldn't stand any noise or excite ment, and 1 would lie awake night after night listening to the ticking ot the clock and feeling like I would go distracted if 1 didn't get some sleep or rest. My joints would swell Mid ache with rheumatism till .1 could hardly stand tho agony, and ! I would have such terrible nervous headaches that many a time 1 felt ! like I would he better off dead than alive. Medicines did pie no good and 1 felt so lifenes it was all 1 could do to drag myself around and I had almost given up llupe ot ever getting well. "Well, now to tViw what Tanlac has done for mo.Vniy nerves are uuieter, I have gotlerNeiitirely over! thoso terrible headaches and I sleep ell night like a baby. That rheuma- thu is almost gone, and I am so much stronger now that 1 do a lot of work that I dide't daro attempt before. Why just l..st week 1 went up town to do some shopping and it was the first time In many mouths that I had been ublo to get that fur from the house and I was mighty Elad to be ablolo walk around town again. I expected to get home tired to death and ready to drop; but the way I kept up was a grand surprise not only to me but to my friends as well, for I hardly felt the exertion at all. I have gotten all this wonder- i ful improvement from only four bot ties of Tanlac. and I am going to keep on taking it as long as It con tinues to help mo like It has and is still doing, for I ju.it can't afford to miss a Binglo dose." Tanlac is sold in La Crande by Sil verthorn and Richardson Drug stores; In Union by L. A. Wright; in North Powder by L. A. Russol and in Elgin by Scott E. Harris.

A gT.I.IMHI I'l'lt COAT. Russia in the throes of revolution, anarchy and starvation, has, accord ing to a news Item, been searched for skins suitnble to mako a $75,000 sable coat for tho wife of William ElliB Corey, the ntcel king. The lndy's ambition lo wear "Ihe costli est fur coit ever worn by a woman" Is being gratried. She wanted it In time to outshine till her sisters in the lato winter Paris season mm me world has been searched to meet this whim. The mac-world has ever been a llrey for 'w in w'omrn. tl.ltflo do they care for existing 'conditions. want they musu nuvo. War has been depended upon 10 bring mary benoflclal changes And reforms, and among others most de sired was tho slopping of extrava gances. Tliero can be no begrudging our women tho best that can bo glv on. tlieni. and more especially the mothers who havo made the great sacrifice but what 75,O00 would do In starving Europo and In homes here made destitute Insists upon a hearing in tho minds of tho thought ful. A more inopportune lime for an qxhibitlon of excess It would bo hard to find than tho present lime. There are so many things more ilo sirablo today than the cost Heat fur coat, that the wonder Is Unit any one could be found willing to carry such evidence of thoughtlessness into tho limelight of publicity.

"Sui cide pond," that "dark and dismal lit tle pool, ' made fumous "by the poet Whittier, is nearly gone. Outlets made by farmers for irrigation liurposes nave reduced the pond to a shallow stream. People living in the vicinity always hnve had a grewsonie awe of the ponil.Vhich stood between two bnrren hills. Women and children, recalling its iark history, always shuddered when they passed it after sunset. In John Greenleaf Whittier's day a beautiful young girl of the neighbour hood was "fjuml one morn in tlint BmoI as cold as the water lily's stem." Whittier immportali'ed her in his poem which he called "Suicide Pond." He wrote: And she went to die in that loathsome pool when the summer day was done, j Wilh her dark hair curl'd on her pure white brew, nnd her fairest gar ments on; With the rinir on her taper finger still, and her necklace of ocean penrl, Twined as a 'mockery round the neck of that suicidal girl. And why she perish'd so strangely there no mortal tongue can tell She told her story to none, and Death retains her secret well! And the willow, whose mosy and ; aged boughs o'er the silent waters : lean, ! Like a sad nnd sorrowful mourner of the beauliful dead, is seen! But oft, our village maidens say, when the 6iimmcr cvenimrs fall, When the frog is calling from his ' pool to the cricket in the v-nll. When the night hnwlt's wing dips lightly down' that dull nnd sleep ing lake, And slow through its green nnd stag nant mass the shoreward circles break I At a time like thK. h misty form- ns fog beneath the monn-1-I.ike n meteor glides to the sWirllcd view and vanishes as soon; j Yet wenreth it ever a human shape, j nnd even a human cry Comes fnintly nnd jow on the still night air, as when the despairing die.
